Аннотация

BACKGROUND: Encephalitis is a group of inflammatory brain diseases caused by infectious or autoimmune processes. The predominant symptoms at the onset or during encephalitis are cognitive and behavioral changes, emotional dysregulation, and reduced self-awareness. When any cognitive function is affected, communication skill also gets affected, and this condition is referred to as cognitive communication disorder. There are few studies in the literature describing cognitive communication disorders after encephalitis. However, to our knowledge, there is no study that provides treatment for cognitive communication disorder or evaluates its effect and prognosis.

CASE REPORT: This case report details the hospitalization of a 13-year-old boy who had a seizure after complaints of headache and fever, the diagnostic process of encephalitis, the cognitive communication disorder assessment, and the evaluation of therapy process outcomes. Day 1, Week 1, and Month 1 assessments of the case were made to evaluate cognitive communication disorder.

DISCUSSION: After therapy, a gradual improvement was observed in the case's language skills, such as naming, reading, writing, and non-linguistic cognitive skills, such as semantic association, attention, calculation, and memory.

CONCLUSION: This report emphasizes the importance of early and comprehensive cognitive communication therapy to facilitate recovery from encephalitis. It also suggests that there may be a strong link between non-linguistic cognitive domains and language functioning.
